The stock circuit can support two OEM fans - which are amperage whores by themselves - just fine. It'll barely break a sweat with two modern electric fans, just make sure you've got a fuse high enough to handle the total draw.

timmey is your motor stock? and im guessing theres no way in hell itll fit with the oem fan but did you check if it will fit 4sure with the 2 10's? I have an asi 56mm too going in my 185 and maybe ill buy the same fans as you if it fits nice.

Well I just took my car out after I swapped my clutch which i also installed the ASI rad. I am monitoring my temps from prosport gauges with the coolant temp tapped into the coolant neck and the oil temp located by the oil filter via sandwich plate. Here are some observations Ive had so far.

-The coolant gets up to temp alot faster than with the stock rad
-Seems to be emitting a alot more heat compared to stock which tells me its doing its job.

-As far as coolant temps go they did infact go up! (Went up 8* to 188 but never higher.)
-On the contrary while my coolant temps rose 8* it seems that my oil temps dropped around the same amount.

This is all from just normal driving conditions on a 83* day with a couple wot, +15psi boost runs.

Ill report back after I go autox which is the real test for me. Right now I find it acceptable becuase it gives me the piece of mind that it will not pop an end tank like the stock one would.

88st165- Im glad you have found the same results as me.
what you really need to do is get the car on the motorway/Freeway and keep a constant speed.
Here in the UK if i crusied at 85mph + the temps would sky rocket, 95'c!!!!
never above 85-89 with stock rad and stock thermostat.

Ok did some digging of old datalogit logs from the power fc, looks like I was operating in the range of 77* - 85* C usually, with a couple peaks to 90* C. I am running the stock thermostat, which is relatively new.

That sounds about on par with Steve's readings, so should provide a decent baseline.

More observations for today just driving around town. Outside temp is around 97*F today. My water temps went up 20*F to around 200*F. My oil temps were still around 8*F below the usual 220*F. Have yet to take it on the highway but I might try that tonight and see what my temps are like Steve suggested.
